        In depth

        Verdict

        Duke of Buckingham, Nuit Sombre and Dream Magic are the three that catch the eye in this novices' hurdle and vote is given to Nuit Sombre. The selection was a useful sort on the flat and he made a promising hurdling debut in a much better race than this at Cheltenham when eighth behind Chockdee. He is sure to have come on for that experience and at this more suitable level he should take plenty of beating. Duke of Buckingham reverts to hurdles after racing over the bigger obstacles and with conditions to suit he could be capable of a big run. Dream Magic was a decent type on the flat and this 6-year-old is a tough sort who is entitled to plenty of respect on his hurdling debut. He is sure to have been well-schooled for this and he looks to have solid place claims. Of the remainder, Opening Hymn is from a leading yard and merits a look in the market, but we will stick with Nuit Sombre as our idea of the winner.
